STRANDED!!

Stranded!!

I am stranded in the rain,
Waiting for the coveted train,
None appears in my sight,
Increasing the intensity of my plight,

Helpless on the station as I sit,
By the passing minute,
I see the town getting waterlogged,
And yet again, I curse the rain-God,

The situation is intimidating,
It’s so damn frustrating,
I am irritated and angry,
Also immensely thirsty and hungry,

Finally a train arrives,
After what seemed like ages,
To get into it, I rushed,
Only to get squashed and crushed,

My anxiety for a moment grew,
But I managed to scamper through,
Luckily I got a seat,
To me, that was an extra-ordinary feat,

Through the window I looked here and there,
Only to see knee-deep water everywhere,
On troubled pedestrians my eyes I laid,
And unconsciously for everyone’s safety I prayed,

When shall I reach home,
In despair, I cry and moan,
I get three calls from my poor mother,
Only to bear the brunt of my acrid temper,

I feel I have described my journey enough,
And now it feels great to be out of the situation rough,
I reached home, totally exhausted,
And indeed, relieved that the day had finally ended……
